The Portland Public House

The Portland Public House is busy as hell, but before a rugby match that’s only to be expected. Even with the crowds, the staff manage things well and it’s never difficult to get served. The beer selection is excellent, and the way they’ve brought new life to this historic hulk of a building is genuinely impressive. A proper pre-match institution.

I came here for my birthday with 2 people that I care about, the food was fantastic, the service was amazing and the staff are awesome. This is an exceptional place in Kingsland, close to the bus stop, train station, Eden Park with ample down a nearby side street. I highly recommend this place to anyone local or visiting the area.

Great service and a nice atmosphere. The food was average, but overall a good experience.

We were a group of 6x who did a quick Google search for a nice place to dine in and have drinks. We were celebrating my friend's booklaunch. Although we didnt book, they were able to give us a table despite the bar being extremely busy! The food was fantastic! We had 2x meat sharing platters, 3x nachos and 2x bowl of fries. We enjoyed it. My only feedback was the music was too loud - we struggled to hear each other. We were outside - so maybe that is why. I will change to 5* if we come again and dine inside. Thank you for a good time.

Nice veg options and amazing cocktails to try and amazing staff. I will recommend to others too

Happy hour!!! Sunday! It was quiet, a cold evening. Great drinks and delicious burgers! Fries were good too. Affordable! Friendly staff. Clean toilets.

Went for Tuesday steak night with a friend visiting from the UK. Friendly helpful staff, great service and relaxed atmosphere. The Chef did an amazing steak - cooked perfectly, tender, juicy and very tasty. Perfect portion size and excellent value for money. Will definitely be going again!

We had a family function there an I'm surprised that we had to ask for extra suviettes, forks, spoons & between 17 people only had one jug of water no sure if that was brought out or asked for. No complaints about food, was pretty average. I had ribs with chips & salad, ribs were peppery bbq almost like spicy but nice, chips were fine, but salad was bland. 6/10 My son had Karage chicken burger with chips he loved it rated it a 7/10. $18 + $4.5 for the chips My niece had nachos she loved it, 8.5/10. $22 Partner had a beef burger he said there wasn't anything great about it but said it was average. 7/10 $18 + $4.5 for the chips. $25 for a jug of lemonade. Over all the staff were very chirpy and nice. Parked across the road for free parking.
